The End of the Earth

"Commander, it's been snowing heavily for two days, almost burying the base. Are you really not going to clean it up?"

Captain Kalu, who was on patrol, asked worriedly.

Xiang San beside him patted his shoulder and said, "Since you are so enthusiastic, take the brothers behind you and go clear the snow from the base."

"what?"

???

"What are you doing standing still?"

Xiang San cursed and laughed, then kicked him lightly and walked away alone. Patrol leader Kalu stared at the huge base in a daze with a confused look on his face.

He really regretted being too talkative. The boss didn't worry about him and he was worrying about nothing.

But he still took the patrol team to get the stuff. There were a lot of tools in the base, but unfortunately they were all manual, and there was no snowplow.

A watchtower was added to the original rocket launch pad. It is called a watchtower, but it is actually just a small house for convenient observation. It is more appropriate to call it an observation cabin.

There are many modular living cabins in the residential area of ​​the rocket base, and it is not difficult to transport them up there using the Star.

Just build a platform, transport it up and reinforce it. You can also use the existing lifting platform to move up and down quickly.

The only drawback is that this added observation cabin is relatively small, and Xiang San arranged five people here.

The original conservative estimate was eight people, but for the sake of safety and comfort, only eight people were assigned. At an altitude of more than 100 meters, affected by high-speed airflow, any extra weight would be a safety hazard.

Soon the watchtower began to serve its purpose.

"Commander! Watchtower calling!"

"I'm Commander Xiang. What's going on?"

"Commander, there is a group of about thirty people approaching the base at the three o'clock position at the main gate of the base, about two kilometers away.

The full picture cannot be seen from a distance, and it is unclear whether the group has a vehicle.

The old-fashioned observation mirrors are really not very useful. We strongly request that we be equipped with drones, Commander."

Facing the complaints from the watchtower, Xiang San replied:

The watchtower can only accommodate a few of you guys, so if you want to mount a drone, you can only lay the cabin on the ground.

However, the use rights of the four drones are being allocated to you, the captains. If we need to speed up, you have to urge them yourself.

This commander does not guarantee efficiency."

The five lookouts smiled at each other. Now that they had the drones assigned to them, their pressure would be much less.

Xiang San connected to Shan Qiao on the Tianxing.

"Captain Shan Qiao?"

"I heard it all, Commander.

The drone has been dispatched.”

"very good."

Two kilometers from the base, a group of people wearing thin clothes were struggling to move forward. The snow was almost up to their knees, and every step forward took a lot of energy.

At this time, a drone flew over their heads. The disc-like drone circled back and forth, attracting the attention of the group.

Xiang San saw this group of people through the display screen on the bridge of the Tianxing.

"Are these people heading towards our base hoping to join us?"

A bridge operator asked curiously.

Shan Qiao glanced at Xiang San and after getting permission, he ordered: "Open the drone communication and ask about their purpose."

At this moment, an electronic sound rang out from the drone hovering above the crowd.

"Communication is being connected... Unknown people, please inform us of your purpose!"

A burly man in the crowd stood up and pleaded, "Our gathering place has been destroyed and we have nowhere to go. Please take us in, okay?

There are pregnant women, elderly people, and children in our team, please help."

Seeing this, Shan Qiao looked at Xiang San and asked, "Commander?"

"Let them come over. Our patrol team should have cleared the snow from the gate."

Xiang San walked out of the Tianxing and came to the big iron gate of the base. The eight members of the Tianxing patrol team were resting and panting.

"Commander! The snow on the surface of the base has been cleared, and the snow at the gate has also been cleared."

"You're doing great, you're so energetic."

The patrol captain, Kalu, asked a patrolman to take away the tools. A team of people stood neatly on the right side of Xiang San, holding modified rifles of the old era in their hands.

Shan Qiao, A Yu and the others also came to the door. It had only been a short time since the new members arrived, and they were also looking forward to it.

"Dad, I heard there's a new partner? Is that true?"

Answei seemed very excited.

"Don't be too happy yet, An An."

Answei looked at Ayu in confusion.

A Yu signaled Answei to look at Xiang San.

"Judging from your father's expression, these people might not be that simple."

Xiang San turned around and looked at them and replied, "Ayu is right. This group of people claimed that their gathering place was destroyed and they escaped to seek shelter in other gathering places. There are children, elderly people, and pregnant women in the team, right, Captain Shan Qiao?"

Shan Qiao nodded and said, "What I saw and heard on the screen at that time was indeed true."

"Then the question arises: if they escaped after the gathering place was destroyed, it must have been an emergency. How could they have so many supplies in their hands and on their backs?

And don't you find anything strange about their formation?"

"formation?"

Xiang San waved his hands and said speechlessly: "The first row is full of pregnant women, the second row is full of old people and children, and the last row is full of people as strong as bulls. Don't you think there's something wrong?"

Shan Qiao and his deputy assistant looked unhappy, and suddenly thought of something.

"More importantly, out of a team of over thirty people, not a single one was injured. Did they escape for their lives?

There's something wrong with these people."

Everyone was dumbfounded and amazed at Xiang San's observation skills.

Seeing everyone's expressions, Xiang San raised the corners of his mouth and turned around to look at the team struggling forward in the distance.

About ten minutes later, the two groups met.

Seeing that there were less than ten people on Xiang San's side, they were obviously a little surprised, and there was a bit of surprise in their eyes...

"I am the owner here, my name is Xiang San.

If you want us to take you in, you must hand over all your personal belongings, which will be returned after inspection.

Is there any problem? "

The leading man winked at the people around him, and quickly pulled out a shotgun from the backpack of the old man in front of him. The other strong men all pulled out their guns and put them on the shoulders of the old man and child in front of them.

"Fuck them!"

The pregnant woman in the first row instinctively lay down when she heard the sound.

Shan Qiao's face turned cold. It was too sudden.

"Don't shoot."

Xiang San stared at Captain Kalu on the right with a very sharp look.

Patrol leader Kalu immediately waved his hand, signaling all patrolmen not to open fire.

Although the patrolmen had already pointed their guns at the enemy, the people in front of them were women, children and the elderly, so they were not able to open fire immediately.

But the other side had already opened fire, and the gunfire that lasted for more than ten seconds finally stopped, and the smoke mixed with snowflakes dissipated.

The person opposite stared at everything in front of him with wide eyes.

A black glass barrier blocked all the bullets.

Black Crystal Barrier

Xiang San glanced to the right and stared at the patrol captain: "He can close his eyes in the face of enemy attacks. This kind of person is not suitable for holding a weapon."

Upon hearing this, the patrol captain Kalu suddenly turned around. When Xiang San said this, the patrolman who had his eyes closed rolled his eyes around in panic, and his teammates were also looking at him.

Like the god of death looking back, the moment Xiang San turned around, the black crystal barrier turned into countless black crystal needles and shot the nine strong men into hedgehogs.

After clearing the threat, the black crystal needles on the corpse turned into balls of liquid and flew back to Xiang San's palm.

"Dad, your ability is so special."

“Special usage, average ability.

Captain Shan Qiao organized everyone to take these people to the warehouse for inspection first.

The patrol dealt with the bodies and confiscated the weapons.

You closed-eyed wimp, think carefully about how you're going to face your teammates and captain."

"Yes, Commander!"

Xiang San left after he finished speaking.

Patrol leader Kalu glared at the member who chose to close his eyes in the face of danger.

One can imagine the punishment he will face.
